Doing the Nubby

Top: Nubby Twiglet; skirt: recent purchase from H&M (it has great darts you can't see in the pic and is sooo comfy); shoes: Baker's; studded headband: Delia*s

I've been a bit negligent with anything involving a camera, since I felt I owed you guys a "real" photo shoot instead of the crappy photos I can manage with my camera perched on the windowsill of my bedroom as I dart back to the only piece of blank wall and wait for the self-timer. The lighting is terrible, and the position involves removing a piece of art hanging on the wall (I guess I don't have blank wall space in my room, after all), as well as fixing the colors and removing the vent that graces the wall (again, it's not really blank...) on the computer. But alas, I have given in again, so today's outfit photo is in the usual format, with the sad addition of a patchy pink-and-white wall since I'm in too much of a rush to head off to class to bother fixing the colors after removing the vent.

Now you know: Behind the scenes, my outfit photos ain't so pretty.

Anyway, today's outfit was inspired by Nubby, in the sense that I wore her t-shirt (which I love) and stuck with a single, bold color scheme. Also, the red lips and high waisted skirt struck me as pretty "Nubby-ish" too. And shoe does accent things with black quite a bit. . .

If you haven't read Nubby's blog, you should. She is an amazing graphic designer, an eloquent and insightful writer, and possesses a fantastic sense of style you'll have to see to believe.

Yes, another girlcrush. I have many. Including the one I have for all of my lovely, inspiring female readers. All together now: "Awwwww!"

susie_bubble - There's really no reason not to; her stuff is really fantastic and quite reasonably priced!

wendyb - Thanks!

anonymous - I almost got the purple, but I thought I'd probably get more wear out of the black. I am in total agreement about the comfort factor!

fashion tidbits - I blame the high-waisted-ness of the skirt. In a good way:)

nubby - You're welcome! I really admire what you do.

mimi - Thank you!

kira fashion - Thanks; me too:)

frankfurt fashion - Well, you can have it! I'm pretty sure Nubby ships internationally...

vanessa - I'll check it out as soon as I get a chance!
